Ullrich Remak papers

Document | Accession Number: 2014.425.1

Correspondence, drawings, personal identification documents, immigration documents, newsletters, and other documents related to the immigration of Ullrich Remak from Breslau, Germany to Scotland on a Kindertransport in 1939, his subsequent life at the Birkenward Hostel in Skelmorlie, Scotland, and efforts by his mother, Nanni Remak, to emigrate from Germany to Palestine.

Ullrich Remak was the son of Ludwig Remak (1895-1938) and Nanni (née Loewe) Remak (born 8 August, 1900, Osterode, East Prussia), who were married in Breslau in April 1925. Ullrich was born in Breslau on 21 April 1926, and a sister, Marianne, was born in 1934. In either July or August 1939, Ullrich Remak was sent to Great Britain on a Kindertransport, arriving in London and then travelling to Glasgow, where he was assigned to live at the Birkenward Hostel in Skelmorlie (North Ayrshire). He apparently lived there for most of the period from 1940 to 1948, the year that the hostel was closed, and is thought to have immigrated to Israel in 1951.
